Abstract
Recipient age and matching for the HLA-A and B antigens each influence the graft survival rate of cadaver kidney transplants by approximately 10%. These two factors are cumulative and have a combined effect of nearly 20%. Thus, other factors that have a relatively weak influence on graft success may have a combined effect that makes their clinical consideration highly relevant.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
